I have a six acre pond with a very good fishery and fertile water. I am thinking about an aeration system to keep it all healthy in the summer months (northeast Texas). Do any of you have recommendations on systems, i.e. company names?

They seem a little pricey and therefore don't want to get tied up with the wrong organization.

Thanks,

Jerry:

I have gotten a pretty good opinion of the aeration professionals who frequent the forum here (and coincidently advertise in PBMag). I would contact a couple of them, give them the info on the size, depth, species of your pond, your needs and preferences wrt aeration (110VAC or 220VAC? Need an enclosure, or have a building to put the compressor in? Need installation, or DIY? How far from compressor placement to the pond?) and let them spec out and design a system for you. Then go with the one that seems right to you.

See The Resource Guide.

Thank you, Theo. I'll give it a go.

Jerry , i have priced a Vertex system . I gave them a drawing at the Pond Boss Convention showing the diff. depth's and the shape of my 1.6 acre pond , They took an aireal photo and figured what I needed . Todd Overton is there local distributer. I am going to do it but have not had the time to mess with it yet. they will install or I may do it . My wife want's me to let them ! she's afraid i'll screw it up . LOL

Harvey, I think I must have married your wifes sister.

Dave , yes but she's sweet .
My avg. depth is 5.3 ft. and shaped like the hook um horn's sign , with index & small fingers being channels and the fist the main pond , so the diffusers need to be placed just right .
Sue Cruz at Vertex has figured the turnover rate will be 1.75 times a day .
I have seen your many post's here and respect your knoledge. I don't live at the pond site yet but it is very livable . Got to work on her .
But it's just 1.5 hour drive .
